Professor Noel Fitzpatrick returns for a new series which delves deeper
into the science behind his cutting-edge procedures and reveals how he
pushes the boundaries of veterinary medicine. In this episode, he
harnesses two extraordinary technologies; 3D Printing and 3D milling.
Nine-year-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel Molly is brought in by Tania
with a large bump on her head. When scans reveal a potentially fatal
tumour in her skull that is growing rapidly, Noel tries something he has
never attempted before; using state-of-the-art technology to design a
custom-made 3D milled implant to replace the part of her skull affected
by the bone cancer.
